Autumn is the season of romantics. With its warm colors, shades of yellow and orange… Even the different hues of brown bring charm to the landscape.
On the island of Groix, too, autumn is the season for romantics. Besides these colors, which contrast sharply with those of the spring, The atmosphere there is extremely pleasant.
The end of the high season
Summer is over; tourists are less numerous, the ocean has cooled, the days are getting shorter… The temperatures are still mild, even if the evenings are getting cooler. Without going so far as to denounce the Breton summer heatwave, I'd almost go so far as to prefer the gentleness of autumn for enjoying my walks. Because yes, autumn in Groix is the season for walks: along the coastal paths, on foot or by bike. Colors adorn the island's heights, and the morning sun offers a superb panorama to early morning strollers. In my eyes, nothing compares to the spectacle of the first hours of sunlight: it has a rosy hue that creates majestic contrasts with the island's surroundings, whether the view is from Pointe des Chats, Trou de l'Enfer, or Pen Men.
When the weather is clear, the view stretches all the way to the mainland. For those with a love of the sea, the crossing can always be made by sailboat. Fishing enthusiasts can also enjoy themselves, dressed in a light sweater and a raincoat. You never know, even if it's a well-known fact, in Brittany it only rains on the… ;).
Enjoy the pleasures of Brittany

The galettes are as delicious as ever, and the kouign amann is even better, best enjoyed just warm.

To get some fresh air after the September back-to-school period, and also for the All Saints' Day holidays, the island of Groix remains a good idea. So yes, the friendly evenings The days spent at Les Garçons du Port, which often ended at Le Noroît, are becoming less frequent. Depending on our mood, we might limit ourselves to dining on wonderfully fresh fish at Les Alizées, or a refined dish at Le Cinquante restaurant in the town center.
